Ahhh sheit, not again. WTF is up with packing heat on campus as a way to handle your fecked up emotions?
That's about all it comes down to. At least for the ones that aren't completely out of touch with reality like face eater dude was.

Really sad when the story comes out and the motivation was little more than, "my girlfriend dumped me" or "life isn't fair".

The simple solution would be to not release the suspects name or agenda. Arrest, convict and punish.

Is the shooter a :

* white hispanic
* white asian
* white italian



Has the 911 tape been edited yet ?

Has the shooter been ID'd as a Tea Party member - and already been retracted; "ooops, we're sorry" ?

If he is Muslim it they will call it terrorism, if he is Hispanic he will be used as an example of why we need tougher immigration, if he is White he will be called mentally ill.

NEAR the school, not on campus. May not even be related to A&M

I'm not entirely opposed to that strategy. It certainly removes a good majority of impetus.

prolly.

But... why not call it what it exactly is (instead of the media twisting it to their own political bias) ?

So why didn't one of the seniors spike the idiot with his sabre like the cheerleader nearly did in 1981 to one of the Rice Owl cheerleaders?

No, he'll be called a "Tea Partier" or "Right Wing". You should know after all, you've done the same thing yourself:

Broken freakin' record, but hey, they're bound to be right one day as long as they keep knee-jerk blaming the right every time some nut goes postal. After all, MOST lunatics are leftists, not ALL lunatics.

so he wasn't on campus, but the press is going to tie his actions to the campus, as opposed to the nearest DQ, Pizza Hut, McDs, dry cleaner......

could trust people and say it happened in College Station, TX. nah.

College Station, TX, home of Texas AM, located approx. xxx miles north of Houston.....
